>>97201124>Apparently the Coadjutor is now mostly just a fluff thing unless you take a charm to gain any mechanical benefitsSo same as always, then?
>>97201154Except for that "is a third circle soul" thing, sure.
>>97201154Pretty much, yeah, except instead of being a merit it's now a charm that grants you one benefit of the 2e background a scene, with an upgrade that turns it into a once a day roll of Essence+Willpower for your successes motes, another that turns it into your fetich soul (unbreakable defining principle, grants you all benefits of the Coadjutor charm permanently, and makes the 1/day roll for more motes free), another that lets you spawn up to 7 2CDs for said fetich, and finally one that lets you externalize your fetich with keys that allow you to make more 3CDs for your soul pantheonThem and the Inner-world charms are pretty much "Be a Devil-tiger" charms sans the "Your own personal Excellency" at Essence 3
>>97201188While I dislike a lot of it, I do find it mildly amusing that "INFINITE DEMONS OF MYSELF, NO OTHER CHARMS" looks to be a viable build for 3e Infernals
Not really about Infernals, but can I just say that I really hate it when 3e gives nonsensical resistance rolls to defeat supernatural effects?I'm going to point at Supernal Awareness for this. You're observing the webs of fate around you, automatically detecting everybody participating in a particular activity of your choice... unless they are concealing the activity or their involvement in it? How in the actual fuck are they concealing their fate? Don't say 'oh but Secrets are all about hiding things and the comingling of fate and reality means hiding things in reality also hides them from fate' or similar ass excuses when this is an Endings charm. Like what does this even mean? You can automatically detect anybody performing the activity unless they're concealed from you... such as, I don't know, being behind a wall? Does the charm actually do nothing except let you recognize when people are doing something within plain sight? Seems silly to me.
https://www.thepopverse.com/gaming-critical-role-ttrpg-board-and-beyond-dungeons-dragons-iraq-redditCritical Role and Reddit single-handedly sparked an entire country's interest in RPGs. They had never had any exposure to tabletop before seeing Critical Role.Can you say the same?
>>97200611>And there was a rpg con in Iraq in 2007 for military personnel but there were Iraqi nationals present.They were probably disappointed it wasn't about anti-tank weapons
>>97200963>Probably because cr isn't even DND but DND adjacentMoron, they're playing D&D
>>97199769Warsaw block country?Poland maybe?
>>97201113>"playing"it's obviously fake and gayand by this point there is nothing that can be convincing enough to change my mind. Brennan started the campaign for one of the players with straight out death saves.No choices, no input, just start with rolling death saves.I refuse to believe he was about to go with the rolls would the marginal chance of the character dying with NO FUCKING INPUT WHATSOEVER play out, unironically he is too good of a DM to do something this retarded.Especially considering a PC death that actually happened was scripted to accommodate PC's background.
>>97199446The might of Islam and Allah is powerless in the face of cute Tiefling girls and theater kids playing make believe.Soon Sunni and Shia shall finally be united at last.... by 5e
Is there a super system that is purpose built to integrate RPG scale, Skirmish, scale and wargame scale scenarios into one campaign?I think that would be pretty epic. You might first go on an rpg party scale infiltration mission to get some kind of advantage for the next session that is a wargame, where if you succeeded, maybe you can hide a unit anywhere on the tabletop.I think I heard people saying that it was kind of attempted in some Old DnD releases and ACKS, but it never seems to really be all that focused on or displayed in action much.Would totally be a niche gameplay style that would require a group both up for rpg's and wargames, but I think it could be pretty epic.
>>97185431>but it comes down to just rolling a d20 and hoping you get a 10+
>>97189712>and hoping you get a 10+See you'd think a d20 system would do something like that, but per the rules you need a 16 or 17 to hit anything in mass combat, and the best modifier you can get is a +5, and that's only for one round and one roll if you're in the most advantageous terrain possible.
>>97174294>>97174755>>97182022The fact that instead of coming up with counterpoints about why the anon in question is wrong but instead they post shitty anime memes make me genuinely believe the conspiracy theory that Macris is shilling his game here.
>>97195554I was pointing out that any d20-based system is "roll a die and hope you meet the target number."
>>97195895Here's a non-anime post then for your troubles.Fishfag is a well known quantity for anyone who is even vaguely interested in ACKS. He's a hateful little retard who has earned the contempt given to him.Why should anyone treat him with respect or take his opinions seriously when he's outright admitted in the past that any argument he makes is really a guise for "Fucking chuds, reeeee"You want to take that as proof of a conspiracy, go ahead, but in reality it's just everyone at the pub turning to see Farmer Johnson walking in the door and knowing that he's going to get drunk, shit in the urinal and catch a drunk driving charge in his tractor on the way home because that's what he does every time he comes in.

Venus you seem to have your childer desperate for affection, you've trained them well. -Kakophoni
>>97198640I mean, that's the basics. For a whole lotta people, the basics are everything they do, and they do okay at it; look at like most of Cammie middle management, Princes and such, and you'll see them center whole centuries of unlife around survival, acceptance, money, power and influence. You could settle for that.Or you could have some sort of bigger things in mind! I've no fucking clue what kind you're into, and I won't scry for it without asking, but there's as many grand reasons to persist for a thousand years as there are people, y'know? Wanting to find a way to cure some living thing you've ghouled of its affliction, to let it live forever without the need to be your slave, or wanting vengeance against somebody who's as immortal as you, or wanting to right some sort of really big wrong. My vamp-dad, who I don't think deserves a title as fancy as 'Sire', was into occult studies, before a bunch of werewolves tore him apart. Your new family seems to lean towards focusing on the Kindred 101 kinda things, which's fine enough. Frankly speaking, people tend to live longer if they don't get up to anything bigger.But if you do, and you really want it, best not forget about it, babes.>>97200590>You seem to be doing some sort of cartomancy.I got a special deck of Tarot, yeah. Along with a lot of other methods for scrying. This one is my favorite though.>Can you tell me what you were doing 3 months ago? You and this Lavender guyOoh, nosy.Me, I was in the city, living it up and handling scrying requests people scheduled. Lavender was at the caern we own, babysitting it and scaring off werewolf visitors, or doing fun rituals at the caern, or feeding his pet cat, or reading shitty books. Or something like that. if you're looking for somebody, you could always just give me a pointer or two and let me draw a few cards, see what they say about your fugitive. Not like I got anything better to do right now.
So Venus took me to the Prince of NY's office who said "Approved", barely looked at me. Cool. Then we crashed a thinblood party "for my education." Mercury Lamp's dolls blocked the doors, mom grabbed the bouncer with one hand and threw him like a football. The fuck? Am I gonna be this powerful one night?A short "fight" later, I had half a dozen stillborns in zip-tie handcuffs to do as I please with. Holy fucking shit killing is the greatest thing ever, it's like the ultimate form of bullying, like I lost my virginity again.>>97198846>HEAVY MUSIC\m/>>97200590>Where were you, your new coterie, Kindred friends and enemies 3 months ago?Italy. The coterie is Venus in Furs, some childer she keeps as her family, and Princess Charming (Ventrue gf of Blue Fairy). I was their favorite blood doll and trained and waited for my embrace for 7 months.We moved to Bridgeport, CT, not even a month ago because Venus's pissed at Italy's kindred, kine, roads, climate, everything.Barring mom ordering my execution for posting here with Boy Toy's phone, and him half-assing it, I didn't have kindred enemies. Mom decided to keep me alive and embraced me in NY as promised. Her relations with the NY Cammy scene go way back, we sleep here so she can teach me the basics.

Has there been any official adaption/depiction of dragon riders in 5e, or really any edition at large? I know gith ride red dragons, but they dont come across as some symbiotic alliance like in Eragon.
I wrote a Monk subclass for 2024. Thoughts? Not entirely sure all these spells have been updated for 5.5 yet.Monk of the Empty WindLevel 3: Windborn Stride: Once per Turn you may jump up to 30 feet by expending 10 feet of movement. If you use Step of Wind you may instead jump up to 60 feet by expending 10 feet of movement.Level 3: Wind Control: You gain the Gust cantrip. As a Magic action you may spend 1 Focus Point to cast one of the following spells without Components. Gust of Wind, Warding Wind, Air Bubble.Level 6: Master of Winds: As a Magic action you may spend 1 Focus Point to perform one of the following.Wind Wave: A line of roaring wind 30 feet long and 5 feet wide emanates from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes Force damage equal to three rolls of your Martial Arts die on a on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.Wind Burst: A rush of gale force winds erupt in every direction from you. Each creature within 15 feet of you other than you must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes Force damage equal to three rolls of your Martial Arts die on a on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.Level 11: Fleet As The West Wind: As a bonus action you may spend 1 Focus Point to double your Speed for the next 10 minutes.[cont]
>>97201225Level 17: Avatar of the Empty Wind: At the beginning of your turn you may spend 1 Focus Point to become an incarnation of the empty wind. gain the following benefits for the next 10 minutes.-You may fly at your Speed.-You have Advantage on all Dexterity Saving Throws.-All Ranged Weapon and Spell Attacks have Disadvantage against you.-You can use your action to create a 15-foot cube of swirling wind centered on a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes damage equal to three rolls of your Martial Arts die on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If a Large or smaller creature fails the save, that creature is also pushed up to 10 feet away from the center of the cube.
>>97201195There's the Drakewarden subclass, but that's kinda wimpy and you don't even really get to ride a dragon until around level 14, if I remember right.
>>97201225Caught some errors.>If you use Step of Wind you may instead jump up to 60 feet by expending 20* feet of movement.>Master of Winds: As a Magic action you may spend 2* Focus Point to perform one of the following.
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
I really don't understand why and how this became such an issue. Used to be nobody cared. At all.
>>97200342The existence of trannies is an existential threat to an orderly society, and so they must be opposed whenever and wherever they start to exist. Like the anon up thread, he shouldn't even be comfortable admitting he was diagnosed with dysphoria. Being comfortable enough to admit that is one short step from acknowledging dysphoria as anything other than a mental illness, and from there its a guarantee that people will validate the dysphoria and that leads to the tranny epidemic we have now.The ONLY way to suppress this degeneracy is to hammer down any actions or thoughts that might lead to trannyism before it ever starts. It must be stamped out immediately, and that's worth getting mad about.
>>97201035You're mentally ill.
>>97190172Why? One of my players makes a female character literally every time, I don't suspect him to be a tranny at all
>>97201035This. Honestly making it cringe as fuck would improve the lives of so many people. Don't let autogynephilia ruin lives.
What is it about? Why is it interesting? Should I care about it?
>>97199725That's fair, I imagine sometime in the future, all those states will merge into Keoland at one point. I might take that into account if I ever run Greyhawk 2000.Speaking of Greyhawk 2000, I hate that rescuing and curing Prince Thrommel wasn't canon in ToEE, I'd probably make my own version with a merged Furyondy and Veluna. Call it something like the Holy Kingdom of Furyondy and Veluna.
>>97196506How wide is the Sheldomar Valley on the map?
One thing I noticed about hanging around in Greyhawk communities like canonfire and greyhawkonline is that the community has a lot of 60+ aged boomers.desu nothing wrong with that. But it's something to note.

I've been on a space kick recently and want to run a sci-fi space campaign as the GM. What are the best systems for a flexible gaming experience without the autistic complexity of something like Shadowrun? I'm looking for a system that can run "magic" (Psionics, occultists, dark gods, etc) and high-tech weaponry and ships and stuff as well as madness mechanics mutations, cybernetics, horror elements, etc. Visiting weird planets, dealing with intergalactic politics, smuggling goods, assassinations, dealing with alien cultures, learning dangerous magic and technology, etc. I also want the players help make the setting so I'd prefer a flexible system that can handle a multitude of scenarios with cool aliens and stuff. I've heard of Traveler, Starfinder, etc, I just wanna know what system(s) I should focus on learning about first. I'd rather not run it in a Star Wars DnD conversion or Feelings and Lasers. This crowd usually plays DnD or very simple games but are open to other games too. Again I've tried Shadowrun and I'd rather a system that isn't over-complicated and just has the hacking take up 90% of the screentime.
Scum&Villainy and Stars Without Number.I use both. S&V for the actual rules and SwN for setting creation (because the "original" S&V setting is too tropey, even though I use some of its factions or rescheme them.
>>97198206The Dai Dark setting do looks fun to run.>>97198491Fucking Shimada Death.
>>97199613>Traveller has sanity mechanics in the Companion, but they are bad, because sanity mechanics in general are bad.The Alien RPG has sanity mechanics which aren't bad. It's conveniently sci-fi, although it lacks weird powers. You can probably graft some from another Year Zero System game into it easily enough.
>>97201149Actually, I'll buy that, I haven't had a chance to play Alien yet but that does seem like a novel and interesting sanity mechanic. Most sanity mechanics are "number goes down, and you are punished for interacting with the scenario."
I enjoyed the FFG Starwars system and in continuation genesys. It has a ton of mechanics for everything sci-fi related you could possibly need since because it has great conversions for Dark Heresy covering insanity etc, rogue trader and the FFG self owned IP twilight imerium.

>>97198887not him but are there any interesting joined ops rules in it?
>>97200414There are no dedicated joint ops rules in it.The book has the lore section, the two teams, and a section dedicated to a campaign system. The latter can be used for a PvE campaign, but it's not really written for it.
>>97200984is the campaign system any good? or just again 5 missions in a mission tree and thats called a campaign?
>>97200993Much better than that, at any rate. Actually has me curious about running one at my local community, though I'm not sure it'd quite work that well for that.You basically have a hex map. Each campaign round (of which you play a number determined at the start of the campaign) you can first move, then you play a game, then you can do actions using a supply point system. Each hex is either above ground (open/volkus terrain), underground (gallowdark/tomb world terrain), and each one upon being explored can have one condition that affects the exploration part of the campaign and one that affects games played in that hex. There are also blocked hexes, which are self-explanatory.Pretty simple all in all. What I personally like about it is that it's not a race to a single goal; instead you play the set number of full rounds, then each player gets awards for stuff like most kills, most hexes explored, most supplies used etc. Makes it more narrative in a way that doesn't impact the gameplay.
>>97201115sounds nice. may be worth it taking a closer look then.
Why do DMs love putting paladins into 'you must fall' scenarios?
Why don't paladin players act like paladins? There's no danger of falling if you do
>>97180635Same reason they put regular characters into "you must die" scenarios. Because without the actual threat consequences, there is nothing to be gained
>>97194721I'm living in 2007 you fucking faggot, don't ever compare me to yourself ever again

>>97200826That's what I'm asking, dumb fucking nigger.If your granular experience can be replicated in a program with better granularity, why would anyone bother with asking less efficient humans to do it? The reason is that the players provide a story, which you dismiss as womanly

Besides Middle Earth, are there setting with a monotheistic God but has powerful deity like entities who may or not be worshiped?
The example setting that comes with Basic Fantasy RPG has the monotheist Bethite faith and a lot of druidic and natural religions that worship deities that might or might not be just local spirits .There are two competing Bethite sects with very different doctrines and theologies, and I find it pretty funny that clerics of both of them still get get power from their God equally.
>>97194857Not him, but the shit you see in the mirror is infinitely more disgusting than Christianity, you pathetic spazz. Are you hindu or something?
>>97194675>Buddhist teachings which form the foundation of most of Japan's reference for religionThe former Imperial Cult and countless kami would like to have a word with you.>Buddhism that sort of believe in GodTraditional Buddhists do not deny the existence of gods, who will all eventually die and seek refuge in the Buddha dharma sooner or later, but there is a significant difference in understanding between a layman reciting Namu Amida Butsu in the hope of being born in a Pure Land through even one sincere recitation and Christian of Gnostic belief in a supreme creator deity or monad. Lest you lead others astray through your over simplifications, gnostics very much believed in a creator deity who created material existence only this demiurge was not supreme.
In the oldest biblical texts, Yahweh possesses attributes that were typically ascribed to deities of weather and war, fructifying the Land of Israel and leading a heavenly army against the enemies of the Israelites. The early Israelites likely engaged in polytheistic practices that were common across ancient Semitic religion, because the Israelite religion was a derivative of the Canaanite religion and included a variety of deities from it, including El, Asherah, and Baal. Initially a lesser deity among the Canaanite pantheon, Yahweh likely became conflated with El in later centuries, taking his place as the head of the pantheon in the Israelite religion. El's consort Asherah became associated with Yahweh, and El-linked epithets, such as El Sadday, came to be applied to him alone. Characteristics of other deities, such as Asherah and Baal, were also selectively absorbed in conceptions of Yahweh.As Israelite Yahwism eventually developed into Judaism and Samaritanism, and eventually transitioned from polytheism to monotheism, the existence of other deities was denied outright, and Yahweh was proclaimed the creator deity and the sole deity to be worthy of worship. During the Second Temple period, Jews began to substitute other Hebrew words, primarily adonay ('My Lords'), in place of the name Yahweh. By the time of the Jewish-Roman wars, namely following the Roman siege of Jerusalem and the concomitant destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the original pronunciation of the name of the deity was forgotten entirely.
